Actor Sumit Bharadwaj says he watched Turkish TV series “Ezel” for over 30 times to prepare for his role of Krishna in TV show “Ayushaman Bhava”.
“I am elated to be part of ‘Ayushaman Bhava’. I am seen playing the character of Krishna — the grown up version of (actor) Ricky Patel. Krishna is the best character till date from the ones that I have played till now,” Sumit said in a statement.
